Turin and Telena, the Split Island

Eldora lays her head on his shoulder, finally not crying any longer. "I love you, Axel... I will always want you."
~~~
Broderick chuckles, "Ah my sweet Iridian. How I love how you think," he purrs to her, eyes darkening with love.

"Then I will allways be around to love you." Axel said and noded lightly. He gently shifted her in his arms.

-----

"Of course you do. I am a genious after all and I happen to be very happy to make you happy." Iridian said with a smile. She pulled him into a hug and gave him a light kiss.

Eldora reaches up and strokes his cheek, "So... perhaps this is not the best time to ask but... what did you do that they believed horrible enough to mark you on your face?"
~~~
Broderick smiles, "Someday I will have to introduce you to my parents. Now my father probably already knows about you, considering he is the god of the ocean. But I will have to find someway to protect you from my mother's magic when she visits... it is true that I have very little control but I inherited it from mother. Being a goddess of chaos it is... difficult not to cause trouble."

Axel frowned lightly and sighed. "I murdered my entire family then the entire village where I lived. I didn't so much as flinch when I did so and I was told that I didn't so much as cry about what I had done. Even though I was only a child they locked me up and branded me. Now I have the mark of a criminal."

-----

Iridian looked thoughtful for a moment. "I don't think I have mad a habit of hanging around immortals before so I cannot tell you if I am naturaly imune to their magic. So I guess you have a right to worry. So remind me what kind of god you are again."

Eldora looks up at him and frowns, but not at what he did. "So do you know why you did it? There has to be some good reason for a child to *want* to kill everyone in their village and an even better reason for *how* a child did it all."
~~~
Broderick chuckles, "I'm called the Dark Sea God. In a way a better description is a God of Sea Storms. I can somewhat control the ocean but mostly I cause chaos on the ocean, things like storms, tsunamis... and the like."

Axel let out another sigh. "I don't even know why I did it. I truth I don't really remember doing it. All I remember is them dieing and the whole town burning in a sea of flames. I can't imagine why I would want to do such a thing. I loved my family. My sister was my best friend."

-----

Iridian looked thoughtful. She reached up and gently pinched his cheeks. She pulled on them lightly. "Is that why you are so cranky?"

Eldora tips her head and looks at him, "If you don't remember why or how you did it or remember doing it then... are you sure you even did it?"
~~~
Broderick growls, "Perhaps... maybe that's why people pinching my cheeks bugs me," he half teases, licking her finger.

"Who else would want to hurt such an innocent family and a peaceful village. They had no hand in politics and was a threat to no one. And I have never met anyone who had the same fire starting magic as me. I just don't see another possibility." Axel said his frown deepening. His eyes looked hurt and rather angry.

-----

"Oh you like it." Iridian said giving him a smile. She moved her hands from his cheeks to his behind and pinched him gently. "Do you like those cheeks better?"

Eldora places her fingers on the side of his temples, rubbing gently. A soothing warmth spreads from her fingertips into his skin and then his head, soothing away pain, even emotional pain. "I don't feel like you could have done it without a good reason. If you did it at all."
~~~
Broderick yelps and jumps a bit before frowning down at her playfully. "Ooo you little vixen..."

"Thank you for believing in me. I wish I could believe in myself the way you do. I can't retrieve those memories so I am not certain what really happened." Axel said with a light shrug."But wecome home little Eldora." He said as he landed back on her ship.

-----

"I have no udea what you're talking about." Iridian said sticking her tongue out at him. She then walked over to where Leon was. She picked him up and gave him a hug. "You don't mind if I hug you do you?"

Eldora smiles, her hair, skin, and eyes brightening a bit, once again becoming golden but still a dark golden. Immediately a group of woman come and wrap around Eldora, pulling out special, deadly knives and aiming them at Axel. "What have you done to our Dama Eldora!?" one cries. Eldora chuckles and moves toward Axel, hugging him and setting her head on his shoulder. "He's done nothing bad my girls."
~~~
Leon smiles, "Of course not," he giggles, looking at her with cute little boy eyes. Broderick comes up and wraps his arm around Iridian's waist, whispering in her ear. "Iridian... how would you like to... become Leon's adopted mother? I'm sure he'd be happy and... I would be as well."

"Is it jsut me or is today full of people pointing dangerous objects at me?" Axel asked as he looked at one of the knives. "Do they ask questions before they pull the deadly wepons on people? I could be here to save all their lives for all they know."

-----

"I would love to. He is a cute little boy. Not to mention he's so sweet. Nothing like his cranky adoptive father." Iridian said with a small smile. She gave Leon a light squeez before she gently poked Broderick.

Eldora chuckles, "They are... unused to seeing me like this. And unused to seeing a man. Most of them haven't seen any men in years." One of the girls, the one Axel had saved comes running and hugs Axel. "Hello kind sir!" she says, grinning and then turning to hug Eldora. "Welcome back my dama,"

"Well it's not every day I am surounded by women. I half expect it to be a harem." Axel said with a small shrug."Although this friendly face is nice to see. Now I think I am going to hide behind you." He said before he moved behind her away from the women.

Eldora chuckles, "Calm down girls. He's a good friend of mine. In fact he saved Alessa here. So be nice to him, but hands off. He's mine." she says, glaring at each of them to make her point. They were like a crew of ocean amazons.
~~~
Broderick chuckles, "So Leon, you have a mother now. What do you say to that?" he teases, smiling at him. Leon's lips split into a huge grin and he kisses Iridian on the cheek. "I love you mom." he says, seeming extremely happy.

"I forgot just how frightening woman can be." Axel said with a light nod. His wings tucked back in and he gently wrapped his arms around Eldora's middle. He set his chin gently on her shoulder. She really was beautiful even though a little scary.

-----

"I love you too, Leon." Iridian said with a smile. She gently kissed his forehead. "And I love you as well Broderick. Perhaps your life will be a happy one now."

Eldora chuckles, "Ah my love, you can never forget with us. I train every woman I save how to protect herself." she says and reaches back, stroking him. "I'm the only one trained in... arts of pleasure..." she whispers.
~~~
Leon smiles and wiggles out of her arms, grinning up at her. He then looks over at Broderick and hugs him, "Thanks Dad," he says and runs off to help and play with the crew. Broderick grins and looks at Iridian. "He is a wonderful boy huh?"

"Oh you are? I hope we will be able to test out how good at this art you are." Axel said with a smile. He gently kissed her neck and gently licked her.

-----

"Yes he is. I hope we are able to have some children that are just as wonderful." Iridian said with a smile. She gently laid her head on his shulder and stroked his chest lightly.

Eldora smiles, "Yes, I hope we will be. I may not have... had much practice. But I have read many books on the subject."
~~~
Broderick smiles, "We will. We will my love. But now I must tend to the ship. I am captain after all and have been too... lacking in my duties because of my duties to a certain woman."

"Oh soemone has dirty habits. Doy ou put your little fingers to work as well? Don't worry I will keep you happy and well satisfied." Axel said with a smile. He gently stroked her hair.

-----

"I wonder who that could be." Iridian said with a smile. She gave him a quick kiss. "All right I will see you later. And I will have a surprise for you." She said before she skipped off to prepair for him.

Eldora blushes, "Maybe I do... and I know you will my... handsome man. As long as you have enough stamina to keep up."
~~~
Broderick watches after Iridian with love in his eyes before turning to his crew and frowning, "What are all you dogs staring at!? Get to work!" he shouts like a true sea captain. His crew all grins and immediately gets to work as he shouts orders.

"Oh I think I can keep up my beautiful little goddess. How about you send your little friends off so I can take you to your room and love the sense right out of you." Axel said with a smile.

-----

Iridian smiled to herself when she heard him shouting orders at his crew. He really was quite the captain. She went to his cabin and straightened up a little. She wanted to set a romantic mood so she needed it to be clean.

Eldora smiles over her shoulder at him, "Ok my love," she whispers, overcome with feeling. She turns to her 'daughters' and 'sisters' and smiles, "Keep the ship going girls. I'll be back out in a while."
~~~
After a few hours of hard ship work Broderick was sweating and his skin was warmed from the sun that was now setting. He sits up on the bow of the ship and looks up at the stars, smiling. They were one of his favorite parts of sailing.

Axel smiled widely. He gently picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder. "To the bedroom." He said before he headed off. He could sense her magic where it was the most concentraited.

-----

Iridian smiled lightly as she finished up the room. She had cleaned up and she had lit a few candles. In the darkness they almost looked like stars. She set herself on the bed and adjusted her clothing. She had managed to make herself some rather sexy undergarments. Which happened to be all that she was wearing at the moment.

Eldora grins and strokes him, kissing his cheeks and his neck, licking as well. "Ah my love."
~~~
Broderick walks into his cabin and as soon as his eyes adjust to the light he grins, "Ah. So I have a sexy stow away in my cabin. What should I do with her..."

"Yes my little Eldora?" Axel asked. He opened the door to her room and closed it behind him. He then gently laid her on the bed. "Time for some loving." He growled before he dipped down to kiss her.

(TS)

-----

"I think she would be fine if you had your naughty way with her. Then again she might just have some tricks up ehr sleeve." Iridian said with a smile. She motioned for him to come closer.
